Well, there's always Mark Vidler's mash of the same track with Madonna's Like a Virgin, aka Virgin O'Riley

Assuming we're just talking intro's, then "Gimme Shelter" by The Rolling Stones.

 Pretty Vacant Nice intro,but falls apart after that. If you listened to them one after the other you might agree.Perhaps we could make our own list and have a Whf forum members top 10 on spotify.Hendix has been suggested surely that would feature top 10.Only my opinion though.beauty, eh

RE: Baba O'Riley (The Who )

This is a classic!Yes i am talking intro's, but would need to take the substance of the rest of the song into account to find its way into an all time top 10.Not just my opinion but other members backing up suggestions could help compile a top 10.

Zeppelin could be up there .I dont think Rainbow would knock The Who off of the top though.
